karygiannis.net/venezuela Dear Friend, It seems that the urgent action which is needed on Venezuela has taken a back seat to what is happening in Ukraine. I would urge you to sign the petition and pass this massage to your family, friends, and relatives on your email list and ask them to sign the ePetition karygiannis.net/venezuela Here is the latest letter which I wrote our Minister of Foreign Affairs: Follow me on twitter for instant updates: @jimkarygiannis jim@karygiannismp karygiannismp From: Hon. Jim Karygiannis [mailto:jim@karygiannismp] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2014 12:52 AM To: John Baird Subject: RE: M.P. Email Re: Civil Rights Suppressed in Venezuela Importance: High Dear Minister, he situation In Venezuela is by no means getting any better. Since I wrote you the letter below you have issued a press release and there has been a unanimous motion in the House of Commons for your government to take action. Although I applaud the actions you have taken on Ukraine you are missing in action on the Venezuela issue. I am writing to inquire why is there this lack of action on behalf of your government to take positive action on the Venezuelan issue. I noticed today that you visited the Ukrainian Ambassador to convey your government’s message. Question which needs answering: “When will you visit the Venezuelan Ambassador with your message of dissatisfaction on the situation there”? Minister when will you take action? Regards, Hon.

John Baird Minister of Foreign Affairs House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6 Civil Rights Suppressed in Venezuela Dear Minister: Various cities in Venezuela have been undergoing peacefully protests by students since Tuesday, February 11th, which became violent due to government entities shooting and hitting peaceful protesters, resulting in four dead and multiple hurt to date. President Nicolas Maduros government kept dozens of student protesters behind bars on Friday as unrest still rumbled across Venezuela following this weeks violence at political rallies that killed three. Demonstrators gathered again in various cities, blocking roads and burning tires in some cases, to denounce the repression of protests and make a litany of complaints against Maduro ranging from rampant crime to shortages of basic products. Defying the presidents prohibition of demonstrations, about 500 people gathered in Caracas Altamira Square, a heartland of past opposition protests, to chant slogans and wave banners. Opposition activists say about 150 protesters have been arrested in the last two weeks, most after Wednesdays violence, with most due to face charges of violence and about 90 still behind bars on Friday. With both sides in Venezuela virulently blaming each other for the violence immediate action is required. I am writing to ask you to intervene and call on the Government of Venezuela to immediately stop its hostilities towards its people and start a dialogue for calm, an immediate stop to violence and freedom of the press. International rights groups have called for an investigation. They have also expressed concern over the roughing up of some journalists and the pulling of a Colombian news station, NTN24, off air as it showed Wednesdays events. My fear is that President Maduro is exercising methods to suppress democracy and control any people from speaking against him. Canada stepped up to the plate on what was happening in Ukraine and we can do no less here. Your immediate attention will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Hon.
